Solar Gadget Charger

Solar Gadget Charger

Here’s a great idea for keeping all your gadget charged while on a trip – use this portable solar gadget charger from ThinkGeek. Charge it up for free with the sun, and it’ll power an iPod for 18 hours, a mobile phone for 44 hours, a PSP for 2.5 hours, or a PDA for 22 hours. Use while trying to watch a movie on the plane, or for listening to music on the beach, or whatever you need. I definitely want one of these!

High Speed Trains from London to Beijing

The stories came out last week that China is willing to bankroll a super high-speed train line that will stretch from Beijing to London. The trains will be capable of running at more than 320 km/hour, and they hope the train line will be completed within the next year. Under the proposal, you can board in London and step off the train in Beijing, 8,100 kilometers away as the crow flies, in just two days. For comparison, flying time is about ten hours.

Personally, I love this idea, but I question the practicality a little bit. Most people that really need to get between London and Beijing are business travelers, and they will fly due to time constraints. If train tickets are significantly cheaper than air travel, that would make a difference. If you could make the trip for a few hundred dollars, they would get many more recreational travelers, I would think. Plus, if you could stop off for a day or two here or there, that would be nice. Taking a 10-hour train ride from London to Budapest, or other Eastern European locations would be a fun weekend getaway.

Car Rental for $1 per Day

April 1st, 2010 — 3:22pm

dollar a day rental cars

Rent a car for a one-way rental for only $1/day! It’s true!

The catch is that you have to pick up the car at Portland International Airport, and drop it off in the Bay Area (San Francisco International Airport, San Jose International Airport, or Oakland International Airport). But if you’re looking for something fun to do for Spring Break, why not drive to San Francisco for cheap?
